Windows phones for the first time ever. Take that combination and
transform your listening pleasure with deeper bass, crisper vocals and

Windows Phone 8X Specs :

Build and design

Measuring in at 10.12mm thick the 8X is substantially less slender
than the One X (8.9mm) but manages to weigh in at the same 130g as HTC’s
flagship Android device. Available in California Blue, Graphite Black,
Flame Red and Limelight Yellow, the 8X seems to share more design
characteristics with the Nokia Lumia 920 than it does with current One
Series offerings which HTC claims is more based on the pillow-like
design of Windows Live Tiles.

Screen

Brandishing a 4.3-inch LCD 2 HD touchscreen display with 1280 x 720
resolution, the 8X should serve up 720p HD image and video quality.
Lightweight but durable Gorilla Glass should protect the screen from
being roughed up during the day, and to battle glare and reflection
issues, optical lamination has been includes so watching video or
browsing in on the web shouldn’t be an issue.

Camera

Following in the footsteps of the Android-powered One X, the 8X
features an 8-megapixel camera with auto focus and LED flash and a BSI
sensor which along with the f/2.0 aperture and 28mm lens should snap
great pictures in low-light conditions. HTC’s dedicated Image Chip will
help deliver slick snaps and ramp up the focus speed, while 1080p HD
video recording with stereo sound should take care of mobile movies.
For video chatting enthusiasts, the 2.1-Megapixel front-facing camera
is capable of full HD video recording and also sports a f/2.0 aperture
which combines with the ultra-wide-angle lens and HTC ImageChip
comfortable should make it one of the best front-facing snappers around.

Connectivity

On the connectivity front you can expect Wi-Fi dual antenna (2.4
& 5GHz) to keep reception strong, with a Bluetooth 2.1 support and
NFC capabilities on board as well. The micro-USB 2.0 port should open
the possibility for hooking up additional accessories while it’s worth
noting that you’ll need to have a Micro SIM packed in the back to start
making calls.

Beats Audio

Reaping the rewards of HTC’s partnership with Beats Audio, built-in
amplifiers and speaker should deliver the superior sound while the 3.5mm
audio jack should allow you to plug in most headphones that you can get
your hands on. If you opt not to use the ones thrown in the box of
course.

Battery and processor

Powering the 8X will be a Qualcomm® S4 1.5 GHz dual-core processor,
which will also power the 8S and the Nokia Lumia 920. 1GB of RAM will
help to deliver in the multitasking department, while a 1,800 mAh
battery should hopefully keep your handset juiced up throughout the day.

Windows Phone 8

Of course the 8X will become HTC’s flagship Window Phone 8 handset
and amongst some of the features to expect, you will be able to use Live
Tiles on the home screen which will display information such as missed
calls and text messages, customization of Internet Explorer and the
ability to take screen shots.
